dosbox-x: Update to 0.83.8

0.83.8
  - Added support for scalable TrueType font (TTF)
    output for text-mode programs. Set "output=ttf"
    and optionally a monospaced TTF font (such as
    consola) with config option "ttf.font" to use it.
    Lines and columns can be specified with config
    options "ttf.lins" and "ttf.cols", and the cursor
    can be made blinking with the option "ttf.blinkc".
    The config options "ttf.ptsize" and "ttf.winperc"
    can be used to set the TTF font size and window
    percentage respectively. If you specify a TTF font
    size with "ttf.ptsize" then "ttf.winperc" will be
    ignored. You can also specify a word processor
    (WP=WordPerfect, WS=WordStar, XY=XyWrite) for the
    on-screen text-style and 512-character font (WP)
    features. When using the TTF output DOSBox-X will
    temporarily switch to a different output when a
    graphical mode is requested (or when trying to take
    a screenshot); the TTF output will be auto-switched
    back later), which can be customized via config
    option "ttf.outputswitch" (which defaults to auto).
    Menu items in the "Text-mode" menu group (under
    "Video" menu) have been expanded to support TTF
    options such as increasing/decreasing the TTF font
    sizes and on-screen text style toggling (including
    bold, italics, underline and strikeout). You can
    also select a TTF font to use at run-time with the
    "Select TrueType font (TTF)" menu option. (Wengier)
  - Added the "Load mapper file..." menu option (under
    "Main") to select and load a DOSBox-X mapper file
    at run-time. Be sure to select a SDL1 mapper file
    for SDL1 builds, and similar for SDL2. (Wengier)
  - You can now select a host key from the menu (under
    "Main") including Ctrl+Alt, Ctrl+Shift, Alt+Shift,
    or use the mapper-defined host key as in previous
    versions (which default to F11 on Windows and F12
    otherwise). A config option "hostkey" is added so
    that you can specify it from config file. (Wengier)
  - Pasting text from the clipboard on macOS SDL1 build
    is now supported like Linux SDL1 build. (Wengier)
  - Added support for ARM-based Apple M1 MacBook. The
    dynamic core now works on ARM-based macOS systems.
    SDL1 builds updated to use newer audio APIs on the
    macOS platform so that the audio works once again
    when compiled and run on macOS 11 (Big Sur). Prior
    to the change, ancient versions of the API dating
    back to the mid 2000s were used which no longer
    work on Big Sur.
  - DOSBox-X will now look for the config file (i.e.
    dosbox-x.conf/dosbox.conf) and the mapper file in
    the directory containing the DOSBox-X executable
    too if the config or mapper file cannot be found
    in the DOSBox-X working directory. (Wengier)
  - The system menu in Windows SDL1 builds is now also
    available for Windows SDL2 builds, and menu items
    "Reset font size", "Increase TTF font size" and
    "Decrease TTF font size" are added. (Wengier)
  - Enhanced the mapper editor interface to allow more
    keyboard shortcuts to be added, shown in multiple
    pages in the mapper, navigable with the "Previous
    Page" and "Next Page" buttons. The text in the
    grids are now longer and clearer too. The default
    shortcuts for a few items are changed to use the
    Host key style (e.g. Host+S and Host+L for saving
    and loading states respectively). (Wengier)
  - Added menu item "List network interfaces" under
    "Help" menu to list network interfaces in the host
    system for the NE2000 feature. (Wengier)
  - Added menu group "DOS commands" under "Help" menu
    to display the help content for the selected DOS
    shell command (DIR, CD, etc). (Wengier)
  - Configuration Tool now provides the option to save
    to the primary or user config files. (Wengier)
  - Certain config options (e.g. doublescan) that were
    marked as advanced options are now general config
    options and will appear in dosbox-x.reference.conf
    apart from dosbox-x.reference.full.conf. (Wengier)
  - Added config options "saveremark" (default: true)
    and "forceloadstate" (default: false) in [dosbox]
    section which can be used to control if DOSBox-X
    should ask users to enter remarks when saving a
    state or show warnings when loading a saved state
    if there is a mismatch found. (Wengier)
  - The config option "pixelshader" is moved from the
    section [gui] to [render] so that it will be in the
    same section as the option "glshader". (Wengier)
  - Added menu item "Select OpenGL (GLSL) shader..." to
    allow OpenGL shader switch from the menu, just like
    the function for Direct3D pixel shaders. (Wengier)
  - Added menu item "Show IDE disk or CD status" under
    "DOS" menu to show the current assignments (disk or
    CD image) of the IDE controllers. (Wengier)
  - Fixed IDE CD assignment may not be reset when soft
    reboots are activated from guest systems. (Wengier)
  - The program 80x43.COM is added into the ZIP package
    TEXTUTIL.ZIP on the Z drive. You can also change
    current text screen to the 80x43 mode from the menu
    group "Text-mode" under "Video" menu. (Wengier)
  - Enhanced MODE command so that you can change the
    number of columns and lines in the screen with the
    syntax "MODE CON COLS=c LINES=n" (c=80 or 132, and
    n=25, 43, 50, or 60). The command "MODE CON" will
    show the current number of columns and lines in the
    screen as in a real DOS system. (Wengier)
  - Added FLAGSAVE command for the save state feature
    to flag (mark) one or more files to be saved and
    loaded. Type "FLAGSAVE /?" for more information on
    this command. (PogoMan361 and Wengier)
  - Enhanced A20GATE command to show the current status
    of the A20 gate when no parameter is given, along
    with other small improvements. (Wengier)
  - INT 21h DOS=HMA emulation, to enable the A20 gate,
    and autoa20fix, to disable the A20 gate, now checks
    whether the CPU is running in virtual 8086 mode.
    If vm86 detected, the code will control the A20
    gate by calling the XMS interface instead of direct
    reading/writing via port 92h. This consideration
    is required for autoa20fix to cooperate with
    Microsoft Windows 3.1. Note that Windows 3.1 does
    not virtualize port 92h. If it did, this workaround
    would not be necessary.
  - Added -a option to LOADFIX command which will auto
    allocate enough memory to fill lowest 64KB memory
    instead of using exactly 64KB memory. (Wengier)
  - Added autofixwarning option (true by default) which
    allows user to silence the messages when DOSBox-X
    tries to auto-fix "Packed file is corrupt" error
    when running a program with this issue. (Wengier)
  - Added autoa20fix option (enabled by default). This
    option when enabled attempts to resolve EXEPACK
    "Packed file is corrupt" errors by temporarily
    disabling the A20 gate and running the program
    again. This may provide better support for affected
    DOS applications than the LOADFIX option. If both
    autoa20fix and autoloadfix are set, then autoa20fix
    will be tried first, and if it did not work then
    autoloadfix will be tried next.
  - The autoloadfix config option changed to allocate
    only enough memory to keep the executable above the
    64KB boundary, instead of blindly allocating 64KB.
  - Fixed menu items "Rescan drive" and "Swap disk" in
    "Drive" menu being reversed. (Wengier)
  - Fixed CD audio issue with the game "The Secret of
    Monkey Island" when talking to the pirate in Scumm
    Bar by adapting the patch that fixes it. Thanks
    kcgen for the fix logic. (Wengier)
  - Added support for MAME CHD CD images. You can now
    mount CHD images with IMGMOUNT command, or from the
    Drive menu. Based on libchdr library and the work
    of the user whocares010. (Wengier)
  - Updated FLAC/MP3/WAV CD-DA decoder libraries to the
    latest versions (versions 0.12.22, 0.6.19, 0.12.14
    respectively). Thanks to mackron & kcgen. (Wengier)
